Wife and Mother of 3 children. I work in healthcare. Love animals (I have a dog and a turtle) and gardening and crafting. I knit and crochet, but prefer knitting. Knitting socks with double pointed needles is my favorite hobby, they're just so transportable. I prefer wooden and bamboo needles and hooks, but will also use plastic and aluminum needles for some projects. I prefer soft natural fibers (wools and cottons) to synthetic, I love kitchen cottons like peaches & cream and sugar & cream. I do however like to use acrylic yarn for afghans and items that will be washed frequently. I love to read a good book. Love a good love story or drama and a cup of tea in the winter with my warm knitted socks on my feet:). I also love knitting and or crocheting books and magazines especially interweave knits. Would love to read anything on Oprah's book list. I love all tea and coffee (decaf only please) and all kinds of girly pampering stuff bath and body works, yankee candles, etc. I especially like the flavor of chai tea. I am diabetic, so I ask for sugar free items. I prefer softer scents (i.e. vanilla, apple cinnamon, citrus) to stronger scents like strong perfumes or colognes.
Favorite Hobbies are: knitting, crocheting, repurposing yarn, spinning yarn, painting, drawing, spending time with my children, Thrift store shopping, couponing (I prefer food coupons) since that is what I use the most of, once-a-month cooking,
